While my comment is NOT directed at “mthornt1″, since I can’t find any access to Voice MY comment directly, other than “replying” to someone else’ comments.
Firstly, I have traveled relatively frequently out of the USA. What I find very interesting is that on the various airlines I have used, none have applied the Baggage Charge on my return flights from the other countries back to the USA. Why is this so?
It leaves me to believe that either the other countries airline offices are operating on their own and more efficiently and therefore find it unnecessary to charge for baggage or that there is something definitely Not Transparent.
Furthermore, it is my opinion that if there is a “Charge” for something, in this case baggage, that it is a contract… more »

…and that the baggage if not delivered with the owner and the time of arrival, then the contract has been broken and a refund is due the customer. « less

The Airlines seem protective of their international flight passengers so they are not charged for baggage while the US carriers pretty much acted as a monopoly to apply fees to domestic air travelers. Once they got enough airlines to sign on to the practice there is no stopping them short of regulation. A poll on CNN showed the baggage fee as the most hated fee for consumers. What’s next a charge if your weight is over X pounds?

Thanks for your input. MickC. Short of suing for your baggage fee back, what might be a good enforcement mechanism for passengers to get a refund?

the reason being is that you are international and they do not enforce it cause it is not a domestic flight in and around the US.
